One can only hope, but I think that quite unlikely. More likely would be the Carolina Parakeet, with good evidence now that it survived well into the 1930's in the south. That's near enough in time to be plausible. Has anyone noticed that there's been a lot of rediscoveries lately? If I didn't know better, I'd think some time traveller was procuring specimens from the past and dropping them off in the present day...I know that's one of the things I'd be doing, if I had access to temporal travel. I love the idea of naming people after endangered and extinct animals...it's a somber and solemn way to remember them, if nothing else. Not sure I'd ever name a kid Ectopistes, Dinornis, or Hydrodamalis, though...Maybe a middle name? On the other hand, Raphus, Thylacine, and Thylacoleo all have potential...

Maybe the next rediscovery will be the Passenger Pigeon. Wouldn't that be great? Wonderful news!

Gotta love that mother nature eh?! Really great news. I love hearing about these supposed extinct animals being found alive and well. Maybe there's hope for us all yet?
